Q: Is Analytics for Apache Hadoop still available on Bluemix? (Not in my catalog for any geo)

55 views Asked by At

I'm looking for the Analytics for Apache Hadoop service in Bluemix to try out SystemT Text Analytics for a project I'm working on. It seems like it's not available any more. It this the case? Is there any replacement or is the service just discontinued?

Documentation for the service is available in Bluemix docs, but it doesn't show up in the catalog no matter what geography I choose.
